Keeping the Ride Alive
The Westchester Mountain Bike Association is about riding advocacy and promoting the sport of
mountain biking in Westchester County. We work hand in hand with the local parks departments
and put on great events such as the Fat Tire Festival and Chain Stretcher Mountain Bike Race. As
in years past we are partnering with Friends of Parks. Proceeds raised from the festival and race
are donated to this cause. Please get involved and help keep the ride alive.
